SUSTAINABILITY IS THE VALUE OF CHAIN
“ Green Jewellery”
is the theme of the new edition of VICENZAORO,
top player in Europe in the goldsmith-jewellery field.
Over 1,500 worldwide and trend-setter brands will be exhibited at the Show.
Vicenza, July 4th 2017 – The International Jewellery Exhibition VICENZAORO, organised by the
Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) – the most important Italian exhibition & convention provider
coming out from the merge of Rimini Fiera and Fiera di Vicenza – announces the new September
2017 edition, that will start from Saturday 23 September with a rich calendar of novelties and
appointments.
Following the 2017 leading theme, linked to the Corporate Social Responsibility in the goldsmith
and jewellery sector, the fil rouge also for VICENZAORO September 2017 will be “Green Jewellery”,
the corporate responsibility and the sourcing policies of all the materials employed in the field. IEG
thus renews its commitment to stand up for significant issues in support of traceability, ethical
trade, environmental protection, safeguard of the right-duty to work and of the health and safety in
the jewellery chain.
VICENZAORO September 2017 confirms its international scope by involving over 1,500 brands of
exhibiting firms coming from 36 countries of all over the world and from the main Italian
goldsmith areas, as well as visitors, buyers, journalists, opinion leaders and trendsetters of the
foreign key markets.
Thanks to the support of ICE (the agency for the promotion abroad and internationalization of the
Italian firms), VICENZAORO will host 500 choice buyers coming from the main reference markets
and also a delegation of 150 Italian retailers by Federpreziosi, the National Federation of goldsmith,
jewellery, silversmith and clockmaker firms. In addition, over 800 Gold Buyers, chosen among the
top players of the European and International market will benefit from exclusive services devoted
to them during the Show.
VICENZAORO September 2017 proposes for the second consecutive year the well-established and
successful exhibition format, VICENZAORO The Boutique ShowTM, which divides the entire product
offer in 6 areas of firms which may be identified for their shared values and market positioning
(ICON, LOOK, CREATION, EXPRESSION, ESSENCE, EVOLUTION), by fostering business meetings
between firms and international buyers.
It is just in the ICON area, after the 2016 success and the preview launched in January 2017, that
N.O.W. Not Ordinary Watches, the capsule of Pavilion 7 devoted to 12 brands selected in the world
of the Independent Watches will be on show again at VICENZAORO September 2017.
Technology and innovation will be the protagonists in the S.E.T Small Equipment & Tools area at
Pavilion 2.2: an ambitious project, devoted to the firms dealing with small equipment, tools, 3D
printers and software, which meet the demand of both manufacturers and retailers.
On Sunday 24 September, 2017 there will be the important appointment with CIBJO, the World
Jewellery Confederation that, in collaboration with the Italian Exhibition Group, will organize a
conference on the impact of the new EU Mineral Conflicts legislation on the jewellery industry and
on the strategies to be implemented to answer effectively to any requirements. The seminar will be
held at the Conference Room, Hall 8.0, from h. 10.30 a.m. to h. 1.00 p.m.
A calendar full of events will be presented at the brand-new VO Square, an area inside the Fair that
will become a pre-eminent space for conferences, talks and meetings with international experts
and opinion leaders. On that occasion, this area will become the stage for all-round discussions of
themes topical and popular for the goldsmith and jewellery field, in a very easy and user-friendly
format.
Trends will be the protagonists during the Show with TRENDVISION Jewellery + Forecasting, the
forecasting independent observatory of the goldsmith and jewellery world, which will launch the
exclusive new TRENDBOOK 2019+. Such publication, source of inspiration and crucial tool for
manufacturers and designers willing to be always updated on the consumers’ habits and to
anticipate market trends, will be presented on Saturday 23 September during a dedicated seminar,
held by Paola De Luca, Creative Director of the Observatory & Forecaster.
Young people and creativity in the goldsmith’s world will be the core of the prize-giving ceremony
of the winners among the 22 finalists of the “Next Jeneration Jewellery Talent Contest”
International Competition, that launched in 2017 the theme “Gioiello e Funzione”. The creations
of all the 22 finalists, made by Italian Goldsmith firms (among which some VICENZAORO exhibiting
firms), will be showcased during an Exhibition at the Jewels Museum of Vicenza, that will be
inaugurated on Friday 22 September on the occasion of the prize-giving. The Contest, at its sixth
edition and promoted by IEG in collaboration with the School of Design of the Politecnico di Milano,
represents an essential scouting tool to identify and promote new creatives in the international
goldsmith scene.
